Delay after keyboard command

Please help. I’ve been looking for a solution to this for 6 months already.

The problem started when I upgraded to Windows 10. I was running Autocad 2016 at the time, have since upgraded to 2017 and also installed all service packs for Windows and Autocad, to no avail.

I bought a brand new Microsoft windows 10-compatible mouse, not the solution either.

Problem:

When I enter a command using the keyboard, there is a 1-2 second delay before I can select or click in the model space. Eg. if I hit ‘L’ for line and I click in model space immediately, the click is ‘dead’. If I wait a second or two before clicking, this does not happen. BUT, if I use the toolbar button for line, I can click in model space and start drawing immediately. A second doesn’t sound like much, but it is slowing me down considerably and frustrating me incredibly.

The same applies to any other keyboard command. When I enter the command using the keyboard, I have to wait 1-2 seconds before I can select objects or start drawing. The mouse is moving during these 1-2 seconds, it’s not like it freezes. But the clicking has no effect.

I have searched everywhere for a solution and tweaked every setting I could find.

I believe this is lag caused by the AUTOCOMPLETE function, which can be useful but is mostly annoying for experienced users. You can edit the variables by typing AUTOCOMPLETE – change the delay or even turn it off.
